Etymology
reden (“to talk”, verb) + -lich (“-like”, adjectival suffix), literally “talkish; tending to talk”. The verb reden can also mean that one is speaking of or revealing a truth to (someone/something), so while it literally means 'to talk', it implies in some cases that one will speak with forthcomingness or truth on a subject and not conceal it.
